1.) in MobileSheets 3.9.39 on Win11
the name text "Offset:" is missing in the transpose dialog, at least in english and German
Starting Key and Offset value are displayed correctly
transposing works as expected

2.) in MobileSheets 3.9.40 (Build 737) on eink
the name text "Offset:" is there
the "Starting key" value is missing
transposing changes the Offset value but doesn't transpose at all

transposing of ChordPro files with or without embedded ABC works correctly

When I turn on night mode, abc files do not change.
All other files respond properly, including abc inside of a .cho file.

This works properly on the ipad (version 3.9.39)

But after I transpose the sheet to another key for example to Key D, all the bar line disappeared from the song sheet and it will show up as followed

Can this be corrected.

(swiping up as if to scroll does nothing)

changeing page size from 692 x 1200 to -1 x -1 produces the same behavior

Today I noticed that the abc field B: (book) is mapped to the MS field Artist!

This creates a problem because Artist gets filled up with entries like
Ferrel, Frank (2020) I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Ferrel Publishing, Bath ME, p.31
or 
O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies) 1903 #1060

Often they cannot be removed directly from the Fields tab, because the entry is too long for MS to display the x

Also, as far as I can tell, each entry must be removed by going to "Select Items", right clicking the entry, clicking Delete, then clicking OK.  Not too bad for a ingle instance, but after a hundred...

(side note on mapping, M: (meter) does not map to Signature - should it?)

(other side note.  from the abc metadata below, MS added Bayard and Pennsylvania as keywords. Very clever and maybe helpful, but I'm not sure what's going on here)

Note 1: there had been a problem with the %%staffbreak directive, but Jef fixed that and other tunes that have the %%staffbreak directive render appropriately.

Note 2: the pdf of the MS render is a screenshot.  Still having problems printing the output of .abc files

Usually closing the song and reopening it fixed the problem, but the behaviour seemed not really to be predictible.
Now I finally managed to find a scenario where I can reliably reproduce the issue. It's not the only scenario and not the only song where that happens, but it's reproducible, so describing that scenario should help to find the cause of the problem.

In this setlist the song "Pigale" shows the issue. The C chord overlaps with the subtitle line, both when I step through the setlist forward or backward.

  Setlist.png (Size: 262.05 KB / Downloads: 4)
As soon as I move the song "Tu Vuo Fa L'Americano" before or after "Pigale", so that I come from there when stepping through the setlist, "Pigale" is rendered correctly.
So it clearly seems to depend on where I come from, if the issue occurs or not.
The file extension .msf is not allowed as an attachment type for the forum, so I added .txt to the filename. Please remove that additional extension if you want to import the setlist.

I can reproduce the issue on my Boox Tab Ultra C both with MobileSheets 3.9.38 Build 733 and with 3.9.39 Build 734.
It doesn't happen neither with MobileSheets 3.9.38 on Win11 nor with 3.9.38 Build 582 on Android.

However, this doesn't work in MuseScore.
I suspect this has to do with the automatic page resizing in MobileSheets.

Are there any alternative options?

I'm curious what your thoughts are on workflow. I might be able lend a hand with it.

I can't see any "PM" option on this board so I'm sorry if this is an awkward way to reach out.
